If you had the power to choose anyone and make them president, who would it be? (The why of it is up to you.)

I would choose Dennis Kucinich. He's just spiffy.

Christopher Walken. He's so crazy/scary, no one would mess with us ever again. Him or the Donald. Trump could probably handle the country pretty well.

Conyers or Ron Paul, Kucinich seems decent but not my first choice, same for Boxer, can't say any other candidates on the R side are catching my attention. Hagel seems to be on target though.

Hmmm...let's see...

I'd pick Sean Connery or Patrick Stuart. I think we need a scottish accent speaking president. Could you just see that press conference?

Probably Chuck Hagel

...maybe Dr. Who? <_<;

Al Gore. If he could be persuaded to accept the job.

Of the current crop of candidates, though, I'd choose Barack Obama.

I wanted to give my reasons for why I'd choose Kucinich, but my fevered brain is functioning worse than usual. So... I figured that laying out some videos would suffice.

EDIT: Well, I guess I can attempt to sum it up. I like Kucinich because he's consistent, candid, answers and elaborates those answers. I would have to say that he's probably an idealist, considering what he's up against, but I'd rather have that than someone who plays games and isn't true to themselves or those that they try to garner support from. Plus, it helps that he has the same views that I have, even on immigration (which I found out during this video hunt, and one of the links should show it). He also hasn't changed his position from the beginning, and a lot of his (attempted) efforts aren't just relevant then but also apply now.

I might even register myself so I can vote. ;/

Mr. T. No, seriously. He's got a reputable public image, popular moral stances and is very authoritative.

Since I suspect we can't nominate ourselves, I'd choose either Chuck Norris, Will Smith. or Weird Al Yankovic.
Chuck is just awesome. Will Smith is a good actor and is VERY cool. Weird Al's just funny.

Khally-kitty, you do know that people like me tend to get assassinated, right?

You do know that people like me tend to be the assassins, right? Of course, a meager payment would ensure that I'm on your side... *twists a 30.06 shell with his index finger and thumb*

But I do negotiate with kittygirls.

Ahhh...Terrorist? Hardly. Terrorists kill for...well, terror. I'll kill for money >_> And maybe a well endowed catgirl or three...if you know what I mean.
Anyway, Flora would make a great dictator....I mean president. >_>

I have an Evil Genius Canadian friend who I'd love to see run America. We'd have the world conquered within his first term.
